Haider, the bonafide masterpiece of Bollywood’s most talented director Vishal Bhardwaj, made waves during its theatrical release last year. Featuring some of the most talented actors including Shahid Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor, Tabu, Irrfan Khan and Kay Kay Menon, Haider made its way to the top of the charts. Haider was not only a commercial success but was also acclaimed widely for its performances, music and screenplay. The film was nominated and won five National Film Awards along with awards at other respected national and international platforms. Fulfilling the promise of 

#HDFirst initiative, Zee Cinema HD, the channel catering to the premium audience will air the blockbuster movie Haider for the first time on Indian Television, this Saturday, 25th April at 9 PM. Known as the World’s biggest theatre of Hindi Movies, Zee Cinema has recently revamped the channel avatar infusing an all new vibrant look to merit the brand identity.

The film’s mesmerizing cinematography immediately transports viewers to the picturesque valleys in Kashmir and the poignant and unconventional music with Kashmiri folk instruments and melodies by Vishal himself added to the operatic quality of the movie. The movie became an instant hit across the nation with Shahid Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor's sparkling chemistry and Tabu's striking presence who infuses an aching vulnerability to her part. Fragile and heartbreaking, she is the secret strength of Bhardwaj's film.

Ruchir Tiwari, Deputy Business Head, Hindi Movie Channels, ZEEL, stated, “We are all geared up for the #HDFirst premiere of the National Awards winning film ‘Haider’ on 25th April on Zee Cinema HD. Haider was a  massive success highlighting a very critical issue with extreme senstivity. Vishal Bhardwaj’s adaptation of the classic Shakespearean Hamlet is a masterpiece and I hope our audiences enjoy watching the brilliant performances by Shahid Kapoor, Tabu, Shraddha Kapoor and Irrfan Khan on the premium platform Zee Cinema HD”.
